Abstract
Very Large Scale Integration VLSI technology has revolutionized the electronics industry and established the 20th century as the computer age But an alternative technological solution to the problem of high speed computing is needed and unless we gear our thoughts toward a totally different pathway we will not be able to further improve our information processing performance for the future The Multivalued logic MVL is positioned as a coming generation technology that can execute arithmetic functions faster and with less interconnect than binary logic Alloptical quaternary computing based on radix4 number system may be the next generation computing system In this paper we have tried to give an outline of quaternary logic based information processing schemes where future research can be explored We have also shown the probable programmable logic device in quaternary optical computer
